When it comes to big changes this is pretty huge but surprisingly “subtle”. This weekend we’ll release a new plugin update that will completely replace the update process of Codename One and a week after that we will start nagging you to update your plugin so we can all be on the same page. This is a HUGE change as we didn’t change anything about the update process since 2012. But the cool thing about it is that you might not notice it…

Stefano J Attardi’s excellent blog on using a neural network to split trendlines in his mechanical watch tracking app attracted many comments on hacker news suggesting a simpler algorithm might be more appropriate: If I understand correctly, the reason a CNN is used here is because we want to find the splits that a human would visually agree “looks” the best? So rather than a regression it’s more like the “line simplification” problem....

Technical debt is the cost of your management shortcuts compounded with interest. It is a fancy term to try to explain to the management that bad long term technical decisions were made and that now they need to bank for it. Often management is responsible for the technical debt, sometime it is a shared responsibility with the technical staff sometime it is a mix of both – in any case – whatever this is – it will always have a cost to fix i..

We recently introduced a new API for interacting with Javascript in Codename One. This new API is part of the BrowserComponent class, and effectively replaces the com.codename1.javascript package , which is now deprecated. So what was wrong with the old API? The old API provided a synchronous wrapper around an inherently asynchronous process, and made extensive use of invokeAndBlock() underneath the covers. This resulted in a very ni..

Bunch of resources for side project on gaming. (got 2 boys at home who have their eyes locked on mario – so I just want to use that to open their eyes on it works and make some mods and some cool evolution of the game with them…) here is what I have found that look like the more promising for quick development of 2D arcade games: Enchant JS Seems like a basic library for simple games.

Since starting to work on June, I haven’t read a lot of books. I only read a few Substack posts for fun and go out for long walks. My favorite blog right now is Samo Burja’s Bismarck Brief . Every week I get a new post on something I would’ve never thought of being interesting. I also like reading Palladium Magazine . Recently, after listening to Chris Arnade’s podcast interview with Tyler Cowen I’ve been enjoying reading his newsle..

When building IoT systems, it is often useful to have access to data from the outside world to amend the information your sensors give you. For example, indoor temperature and energy usage measurements will be a lot more useful if there is information on the outside weather to correlate with. Thanks to the open data movement, there are many data sets available. However, many of these are hard to discover or available in obscure formats. ....

One of the big issues with some new users who picked up Codename One was the lack of up to date device skins. We made several attempts in the past to improve this situation but these ended up as half measures at best. Last week we addressed some of the core problems that made it hard to add new skins and as a result we now have 33 new skins that are far better than anything we had before.

This is quick braindump of getting SnailLife Go building and testing on Go 1.10. A few days ago I decided to start building and testing SnailLife Go on Go 1.10 RC 1 (now RC 2). It took a bit of wrangling, but after updating my local environment and finding the best image to use for GitLab CI, I now have it building on Go 1.9 and 1.10 rc 2.
